Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I saw that the urinary test pregnancy is positive. (attachment removed to protect patient identity). Congratulations on your pregnancy. It will be better if you have written the first date of your last menstruation. So I can calculate the gestational age. In the first week of pregnancy at 5-6 weeks, woman can experience dark brown spotting, it quite normal due to the implantation of trophoblast. But there are also other causes as hematoma. If the bleeding becomes heavier, red with clots or lasts for several days you should discuss it with a specialist. At 6-7 weeks of gestation, you should consult an obstetric specialist because you should undergo several lab analysis and an ultrasound to ensure an intrauterine pregnancy and to detect the heart activity of the embryo. The first lab examination is IgG, IgM for CMV (cytomegalovirus), rubeola ,toxoplasma, blood and group blood analysis, TSH (thyroid-stimulating hormone), etc. You can start taking Folic acid tablets.

The Probable causes

Trophoblast implantation.

Investigations to be done

Ultrasound. The first lab examination IgG IgM for CMV (cytomegalovirus), rubeolla ,toxoplasma, blood and group blood analysis, TSH (thyroid-stimulating hormone), etc.

Differential diagnosis

Hematoma

Treatment plan

Folic acid.

Hello,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

Based on LMP, you are 5 weeks + 3 days pregnant. It is quite normal to experience these symptoms. I think it is probable of implantation. You have the option to undergone an ultrasound at this gestational age or you can go a week later if the symptoms discontinue.

Hi,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

I saw the picture (attachment removed to protect patient identity), they are like brown secretions which are normal. You do not have to worry about that. Majority of pregnant women experience these symptoms at first weeks. Obstetric ultrasound will evaluate the well being of pregnancy and it is a guideline to perform one at the maximum 7 weeks.

Patient's Query

Thank you doctor,

I was scared once I saw the bleed.
